Dean Nancy Andrews, M.D., Ph.D., and Vice Dean for Research Sally Kornbluth, PhD, have announced the agenda for the second annual School of Medicine Basic Science Day 2011.
[toggle title_open="Close" title_closed="Read the Dean's message" hide="yes" border="yes" style="default" excerpt_length="0" read_more_text="Read More" read_less_text="Read Less" include_excerpt_html="no"]In late May, we forwarded you a “save-the-date” email about our second annual Basic Science Day, on Monday, Oct. 10. We hope to see all who attended last year, and welcome those of you who will be attending this event for the first time. This year we will gather at Levine Science Research Center and Love Auditorium for a day of presentations, posters and relaxing conversations with colleagues and new friends. We’re excited to feature two keynote speakers this year: Michael Kastan, M.D., Ph.D., incoming director of the Duke Cancer Institute and Stephen Lisberger, Ph.D., incoming chair of the Department of Neurobiology.
Below is a program for the day. You will soon see cards and posters describing the day’s agenda and promoting the event, so please take time to RSVP for the luncheon now. Contact lynn.garner@duke.edu or 919-660-1305 so you’ll be on the list for a meal.
We look forward to seeing you on Oct. 10 in Love Auditorium, Levine Science Research Center. [/toggle]
